That's a bugger!.
yeah but All generators and such have to be shut down at 10pm, I had originally built the box in under the camper to hold stove, lights etc and had to 2 gel deep cycle 12volt/ 26amp/hour batteries = 12 vlt/52amp/hour, but fully charged would only give me 2hours and at the Phillip Island International Racetrack, the marshal camp area is heavily treed so the solar panel was struggling to even half charge them. so I added a 12 volt 100amp big mother of a battery which is great and can get a full night no worries but there was still the charging problem, I was going to get a smaller 2Kva inverter generator but got the 4.4Kva for nearly half the price and it is only 5kg heavier I run it for 4 hours (from time we get back from track marshal duties) till 10pm. My S/A machine is a good one as a lot can not run from DC adaptors which mine can the other cheaper machines require you to carry a dedicated battery pack which still has to be charged from mains power, my batteries run all my LED lighting my laptop and 16 inch TV/dvd player if I take it on holidays with the wife to other places
